About Me

  • Become a FAN of REGGIE ROCKETSHIP AND HIS BOOM BOOM POW GALAXY OF SECRETS. Click HERE.

    My spitfire adolescent weekends were at Playland in SF; rollicking in the Fun House, roller skating, ice skating, swimming in Fleishhacker pool, overlooking the pacific at the Cliff House. I wasn't a Dirty Harry, I was Reggie Rocketship.

    I raced horses in McLaren park, drank Ghirardelli's chocolate, downed crab at Fisherman's Wharf,  ran the indoor track at the YMCA. Climbed to Mt. Davidson's Cross , walked across the Golden Gate Bridge on fog swept afternoons.

    I was SF's landscape.

    I left SF and worked in Croatia under Marshal Tito's communistic rules. Europe was my new landscape while I wrote stories.

         My first book DUBROVNIK is an adventure story based in Croatia.

         KISSING FREUD is a psyche drama/comedy staged in San Mateo, CA.

         IT'S ALL MAKE BELIEVE, ISN'T IT? Marilyn Monroe Returns is a comedy suggesting that Marilyn still remains with us in San Francisco.

         VITRUVIAN MAN is upcoming, a sequel to DUBROVNIK.

    My dig now is Sedona, AZ.
